The drive begins October 22 and concludes November 21, 2018.

Some examples of how your donation dollars are spent:

  • $20,000 helps support ~25 hands-on workshops impacting over 700 people 
  • $10,000 supports user group meetup fees for 150 groups for 6 months
  • $5,000 provides hosting for 3-4 PSF community web services for a year(e.g. Mail.python.org, uspycon.org, wiki.python.org)
  • $1,000 helps supports 2 regional conferences, impacting over 500 people
